MSc in Biosystems Engineering

Last modified: 19. March 2025

The aim of the degree program is to train professionals with interdisciplinary expertise in engineering and agricultural sciences. By combining agricultural knowledge with technical, technological, data science, management, and economic skills, graduates will be equipped to manage agricultural enterprises, develop and operate technical or economic systems, and lead business projects. They will also be capable of conducting professional management, planning, research, and innovation activities. The program prepares students for further studies at the doctoral level and concludes with a 15-credit thesis in agricultural engineering and agri-digitalization.

Full name of the master degree program: Biosystems Engineering
Name of the qualification in the degree: Biosystems Engineer
Length of course: 3 semesters

Start of courses: Beginning of September each academic year

Required documents for admission:

• Bachelor degree certificate
• transcript of records
• proof of English knowledge
• Motivation letter
• CV

Studies accepted as prerequisites for admission to the master degree program

Foreign language requirements
Candidates from countries where English is not the language of instruction need to have an internationally accepted English exam: the minimum is a complex (combination of oral and written) intermediate level (B2) language exam, or an equivalent secondary school leaving examination or diploma.

Core curriculum (fields of knowledge essential for the qualification):

• engineering and agricultural sciences,
• data science and digital technologies
• mathematics and applied sciences,
• economic and management sciences.

Biosystems engineers with an MSc degree are able to:

• Understand and apply modern agricultural technologies and production processes.
• Operate, manage, and maintain agricultural machinery and technical equipment.
• Organize and oversee technical processes in agricultural production and processing.
• Utilize knowledge of logistics, enterprise management, and farm organization for efficient operations.
• Develop and implement models for agricultural engineering systems and processes.
• Apply engineering principles, calculations, and modeling methods to design machinery, processes, and technologies.
• Use agricultural informatics and data science to support problem-solving and innovation.
• Ensure the economic viability and sustainability of machinery operations and agricultural production.
• Stay updated with technological advancements in agricultural engineering.
• Continuously acquire new knowledge and integrate technological innovations into practice.
• Explore opportunities for economic and technical development in agriculture.

After the MSc program you can continue your studies in doctoral (PhD) program.
